SYNOPSIS
Life is not the most fulfilling for sixteen-year-old Meng: Lounging at home with his grieving
father on a daily basis, being excluded from his family’s past, and forced into bullying other
kids at school. Everything changes when he is thrown into a life-altering adventure that
propels him into an exciting unfamiliar landscape. A visually striking film about the
experience of growing up and finding strength in a world of crisis.
